JFH Tactics on Saturday

[corbray]

I don't have any coaching badges but surely it's simple... A player plays well, he keeps his place in the team?

JFH's philosophy seems to be the opposite - Washington scores his first goal of the season and benches him, and then brings him on and puts him out of position, knowing full well strikers need goals.

All started against Leeds - Shodipo was one of the best players out there, benched him for 2nd game.

To be fair, i think washington is best suited on the wing for us. His best performances have been on the wing for us and everytime hes been upfront he's just been smothered everytime.

Gotta agree though, jfh does constantly drop players and plays them out of position all the time and worst of that, he plays karl bloody henry who is our opponents MOTM everytime he plays for us!

Shodipo didn't look like creating anything, did very very well with his goal but was limited otherwise, Wszolek being given a few minutes off the running just to renew the energy in the side.

And I do mind not being entertained, but I actually find this quite interesting and for me it's entertaining because I enjoy the slow build up play as I said. If you don't, which is the case for many, you won't find this interesting at all. But I do.

He created one of our only 2 attempts on target, what did the others create? Namely, Chery? Don't take the two blokes who have created something off and leave two holding midfielder on when we need to win FFS.

No Nasser, you're just saying you enjoy it because you like going against exactly what every other person says on here.

To say you enjoy being bored has to be the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard of - Absolute garbage, that makes no sense whatsoever.
You can't enjoy build up play when we don't have any!! Unless you class passing it aimlessly sideways and backwards in our own half only to launch it forward eventually as build up play?

It's a policy of rotation. You don't need coaching badges to understand rotation.

It's a load of bollarks when we're only in October. Burnley won the league with absolutely no rotation hardly.

It's not rotation in October, it's called not knowing your best team.

So are you saying if a player plays well in one game, you don't play him in the next game because you need to rotate the team?

Except he didnt as he played 3 days after the Leeds game in the cup.

I do have coaching experience. Unfortunately, in the wrong sport. (Rugby Union - I'm also a qualified RFU ref and occasionally stagger about out there).

Nevertheless, all team sports have crossover points and in any case coaching / management is not theoretical physics. There are basic things you look for in a coach / manager. Tactical awareness and flexibility is a given, and by that I mean an understanding of how the game is developing not just on the park but in general. You look around the world at new developments, new tactical thinking and apply as and when. You also have to be able to get the team to sweat blood, to play for the shirt and play for you. You have to know how to instill confidence, how to be positive.

On all of these fronts I see no evidence to change my opinion re JFH. I suspected he wouldn't be up to it and results have not demonstrated otherwise. Luck may get you out of trouble, but you should never rely on it. I said I personally would give him last season plus twelve league games. He should be sacked.

If this does not happen, I will make a prediction. Wolves - who have the same number of points as us but are improving fast, they tore Villa apart on Sat thwarted by possibly the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen - will finish above us. Ironic if Burton overtake us as well.

I don't enjoy being bored, but I don't get particularly bored watching that football, I get engaged in it. Just because you don't, please don't start suggesting that you know why I say what I say. I damn well know what I enjoy and why I enjoy them and you certainly don't.

Why bench him for 2nd league game and play him in the cup?

If you currently enjoy watching us play on a Saturday you need your head tested. There is nothing engaging about watching a ball being lumped up only for it to come straight back again, followed by 15 passes across the back four in our own half, followed by a pass back to the keeper.

If that simply entertains you and you get engaged in it, then I'd advise going to watch a Sunday league match for free in a park, rather than paying £25 of your student loan on it.

Advise me however you want, but know that I really don't care.

How you continue to defend the absolute inexcusable baffles me, unless you're on a wind up every time you come on here.
I'm all for opinions and for the love of QPR, I've just bought a Sheff Weds ticket, however I cannot and I don't think anyone realistically can defend this sh1te on a plate, we as paying fans are being served up.

[Shania]

I think fans of all teams discuss players being played out of position.

But we seem to play them out of position all the time.

[3London]

i know we all see things differently ..but even through the most rose tinted glasses the football we are playing at the moment is boring as hell..and not in a 1-0 to the arsenal boring but in a at some point we are going to get caught out by such negativity way.

[West London is Rss]

Nearly did on Saturday by a Reading team that lacked a goalscorer - Were lucky to get anything from the game again.

He enjoys our intelligent thinking behind our back pass and specialised side pass to then go back again
